It start now!

Good luck OB

 

Good Luck and have fun ...

 

Ill try to update it... I think the weekends are the worse so far... everyone but 2 of us went home last night. I could drive home .. but im staying the 3 1/2 weeks straight to save gas and to get the family a little used to me being away. I dont know how long ill stay out when im solo but this should be a good sample. During the week isnt too bad... you keep pretty busy. I brought a laptop.. been skyping with the kids here and there... sending my son pics... He is having fun with it all. Wish you the best of luck... the first part of the week is prob the worse.. lots of video's and paperwork.. Lots of info you might already know from your permit test. But there is so much to learn and hearing it all 4x prob isnt a bad thing. I noticed friday when we were in the truck all day.. time FLEW! So I'm really looking forward to the next 2 weeks of pretty much all driving. Even if OTR isn't for me I'm pretty confident from what I have read and seen so far.. this is the best way to get that cdl and 1-2 years of experience you need and make some money while you do it. Most of the Driver's have been friendly.. Mostly positive opinions of the company. Ill keep you posted

 

Welcome aboard - you'll enjoy Harold (the instructor). He's forgotten more about trucking then most of us will ever know.

 

Another Student and I helped Harold load up some of his stuff from his house here in GA over the weekend. He's a real nice guy .... From what I have heard they try to get you by the DMV for your CDL with an empty. No worries .. you wont fail!

 

You have to have an empty. You can't take your test with a loaded trailer, at least not in GA you can't.
